				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-423" alt="how you make money in Watkins" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/mlm-money-bags.jpg" width="232" height="154" />Making money with your Watkins business is simple. Watkins rewards you when you help more people use and enjoy the incredible Watkins products.</p>
<p>Product consumption is what pays the bonuses in any legitimate network marketing opportunity.</p>
<p>Legitimate opportunities never pay you just for the act of recruiting alone&#8230;.that is a hallmark of pyramid schemes.</p>
<p>Watkins is a reputable business built on a proven network marketing model. Sponsor new associates, move products, follow basic fundamentals for success, and you get paid. And paid very well!</p>
<p>There are three keys to making money with a Watkins business and creating a lifetime residual income. Let&#8217;s take a look.</p>
<h2>Use Watkins Products in Your Home</h2>
<p>Watkins manufactures premium quality products. They are superior to competing store brands. This doesn&#8217;t mean, though, that you have to spend more for them. Actually, you can save money using many of the Watkins products, because they are formulated to be very effective and last longer than competing brands. Thus, you may spend a little more up front but in the long run you can save quite a bit of money.</p>
<p>You get an immediate 25% discount off the retail prices. Then, depending on your level of achievement in your business, you can earn up to an additional 14% rebate on these personal purchases. This reduces your cost for these products even more.</p>
<p>Using the products yourself is very important. They are the foundation of your Watkins business. The product line is the foundation of any successful MLM or network marketing opportunity. People who don&#8217;t enjoy and use their own products are rarely (if ever) successful marketing them and earning a steady income.</p>
<h2>Introduce Others to the Watkins Product Line</h2>
<p>Introducing the products to others is a quick way to earn an income, and building up a small customer base provides you with solid long-term profits as well.</p>
<p>In the past, most Watkins associates sold products locally and often carried inventory. They would travel around to deliver products, or have customers come to their home to pick them up. While you can still do a retail business this way, the most successful associates today leverage the power of modern technology that enables customers to order and have products delivered directly to them. It&#8217;s your choice.</p>
<p>You can retail products for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">immediate profit</span> in many ways, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>catalog sharing</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>home parties</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>direct selling</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>local advertising</li>
</ul>
<p>It all depends on what you feel comfortable with. My personal preference is to direct customers to my <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/ebeard" target="_blank">Watkins Online retail store</a>. Watkins takes care of everything, I never have to stock or make deliveries, and I get paid commissions and bonuses at the end of the month. It&#8217;s a great deal.</p>
<h2>Sponsor Watkins Business Associates for Residual Income</h2>
<p>Building a group of Watkins business associates is the most powerful way to earn money with this opportunity. This dramatically leverages your time, and helps you move far more products (and make much more income) than you could alone. You get paid nicely when you move products. The more Watkins products consumed in your organization (by associates and customers), the more income you make.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, on average, your monthly earnings will be between 5% to 10% of the product volume generated by your group. This can add up to a substantial amount each month, and doesn&#8217;t include other bonuses (I&#8217;ll mention one of them below). Your earnings can exceed these percentages as you grow your business successfully.</p>
<p>Here is a chart that summarizes this:</p>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<tbody>
<tr bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
<td align="center" valign="middle"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans Serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>Typical Earnings with Watkins</strong></span></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans Serif;">25% to 39% discount on items you order for yourself.</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans Serif;">25% to 39% profit on sales to your customers.</span></td>

<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans Serif;">5% to 10% bonus profit on the total sales volume generated by your entire downline group.</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle"><span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans Serif;">Special programs for extra bonuses or prizes.</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Watkinize Your Home Bonus</h2>
<p>One powerful way to increase your income with Watkins is through the Watkinize Your Home bonus program. Your one time purchase of the Watkinize Your Home kit entitles you to earn bonuses when associates you sponsor purchase the kit as well. This bonus will be $100+ depending on your level of achievement in the marketing plan.</p>
<p>The Watkinize Your Home Assortment brings you a representative selection of products from the major Watkins product lines:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/store.cfm?Parent=3&amp;gCatalogLocale=Usa&amp;ECredit=122236N" target="_blank">Cooking and Gourmet Food Products</a> – double strength vanilla, natural spices, and soup and gravy bases are just a few of the products that have made Watkins famous as a manufacturer of gourmet food products.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/store.cfm?Parent=6&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=122236N" target="_blank">Home Care Products</a> – all natural home cleaning products, laundry detergents, room fresheners, and many others highlight a quality all natural home care line that comes in many popular scents. Free of unnecessary chemicals and so pleasant to use!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/store.cfm?Parent=52&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=122236N" target="_blank">Personal Care Products</a> – smooth and natural hand creams, body oils and lotions, foot creams, and natural shampoo and conditioner products are just a sampling of what’s in store for your pleasure! .</p>
<p><a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/store.cfm?Parent=9&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=122236N" target="_blank">Classic Home Remedies</a> – these are some of the products that made Watkins famous. Liniments, Petro-Carbo salve, Menthol Camphor Ointment, products like these transcend generations and remain enduring classics!</p>
<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>
<p>The Watkins marketing and compensation is simple, direct, and designed to reward achievers. You get paid very well for doing the right things. As part of our Summit Group team, you have a special advantage including tools and training that many other teams simply don&#8217;t offer. This is one reason the Summit Group has historically been the strongest and fastest growing group in the company.</p>
<p>Sound good? <a href="http://www.tsginfo.com/index.php?rc=ey2236">Check out the Watkins Business</a> and let&#8217;s talk.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-414" alt="Watkins products in Target" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/watkins_products_in_target.png" width="233" height="248" />I had a nice chat this evening with a prospective Watkins associate. The unique thing about this situation is how this gentleman and his wife learned about the quality of the Watkins product family.</p>
<p>They actually found the <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/ebeard" target="_blank">Watkins products</a> in Target, and since they are sold on using natural products as much as possible, they tried some of them and found the quality and value to be outstanding. Better than other &#8220;natural&#8221; products they had tried.</p>
<p>By &#8220;natural products&#8221;, I mean those that are environmentally friendly and free of unnecessary chemicals and harsh additives. The buzzwords used to characterize the Watkins home care products, for example, are &#8220;plant based cleaning agents&#8221;, &#8220;biodegradable&#8221;, and &#8220;non-toxic&#8221;. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Watkins offers many other natural product lines as well.</p>
<p>Back to my prospect &#8211; he is seriously considering starting a Watkins business, and it all came from experiencing the value and quality of the products, and discovering that there was a home based income opportunity there.</p>
<p>I have long &#8220;preached&#8221; and taught that MLM network marketing products are THE CORE of your business, and should be the very first thing evaluated when considering an opportunity. Some people focus more on how much money you can make and how big your bonus checks can be. This is all great but please always keep one thing in mind.</p>
<blockquote><p>Compensation plans, your upline team, training, all of these things are very important in choosing a network marketing opportunity. The key, though, is this: it doesn&#8217;t matter how great the payout is or how incredible your upline team is if the products are mediocre or lack lasting value for the ultimate consumer.</p></blockquote>
<p>Good network marketing products are good enough to be purchased by consumers at retail prices. People who have no interest or stake in the business opportunity, just real product users. Your MLM products will ultimately make or break your business. If you want a long-term and stable income, choose your products carefully.</p>
<p>Off the soapbox now&#8230;so why are Watkins products in Target and other large stores? You can find a small sampling of our products in many large chains. Only Watkins independent associates like myself have access to market the complete product line, but sometime people wonder.</p>
<p>Watkins for years has had a &#8220;brand awareness program&#8221; that focuses on placing selected products in retail stores where the mass market will be exposed to them. This exposure creates some very positive things for associates. Some people (like my prospect) will learn about Watkins first hand this way. Others will remember Watkins from years past and be delighted that they can still find it.</p>
<p>The great thing is, though, only a few products are in stores. Only Watkins associates have access to sell and market the complete line. This is massive free advertising and a credibility builder for those of us who are pursuing Watkins as a network marketing opportunity. We have a product line with a long history, great reputation, and plenty of incentives to make money and earn free trips, bonuses, all the good things.</p>
<p>So, I believe my prospect who discovered our Watkins products in Target may soon be on track for a very rewarding and profitable home business venture.</p>

<p>If  you Google terms like &#8220;Watkins products&#8221; you will get an assortment of results that often include some pretty big retail chains. It might seem that Watkins is sold mostly by giant retailers.</p>
<p>Here is the truth. For years, Watkins Incorporated has placed selected products in stores to help increase &#8220;brand awareness&#8221;. The selection of products in stores has always been limited, and the odds of you finding exactly what you want are not that great.</p>
<p>The solution is to work with a Watkins Independent Associate like myself, and purchase your products through our Watkins Online catalog. That way, you get to choose from the complete line, and your order is promptly processed directly by Watkins and will arrive at your door pretty quickly.</p>
<p>Here is a short introduction to the <a href="http://watkinsonline.com/ebeard/" target="_blank">Watkins Products online catalog</a>. If you are looking to buy these products, please visit my catalog. I appreciate your business!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-398" alt="home business success" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/home_business_success.jpg" width="234" height="176" />Those are three powerful words: home business success. Isn&#8217;t this what we are all looking for?</p>
<p>Are you enjoying the income and prosperity that you expect your home business to provide? If not, what do you think is the reason?</p>
<p>One thing that causes many people to NOT enjoy <a title="Keys to Success With Watkins" href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/blog/keys-to-success-with-watkins/">home business success</a> is a lack of focus. Specifically, a lack of focus on a daily action plan designed to help build your business quickly and consistently.</p>
<p>Do you have a daily plan of action that you go by?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty common for business builders to take action in a rather scattered and unorganized way. They do things to help grow their home business, and maybe a few things every day, but there isn&#8217;t a plan behind it. It is more of a random effort than a focused and deliberate course of action.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at six steps you can take every single day to help boost your odds of home business success. These steps will be specific to a network marketing home business, but can generally apply to most any other opportunity out there.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The First Step</strong></span>: Know what you want. You want freedom? Financial independence? To be a stay-at-home mom or dad? Whatever your driving &#8220;why&#8221; is, review it every morning as you start your day.</p>
<p>Many people create visuals using pictures and illustrations of the lifestyle they are seeking. You could create something like this and let it help you get an upbeat start to your day.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Second Step</strong></span>: When you wake up, and ponder what you will do for your business that day, do it with strong intention. Don&#8217;t think you will &#8220;try&#8221; to do something that day. Plan your actions that day with the intention of getting them done!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Third Step</strong></span>: What makes a network marketing business grow? New prospects. Set a goal that you will connect with new prospects for your opportunity every day. If you work a job all day and have most of your business building time in the evening, two new prospects a day might be realistic. If you have more time, bump it up to 5-10 and grow faster.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Fourth Step</strong></span>: Use your tools. Your MLM company or upline team likely has a variety of tools that tell the story of your opportunity. Whatever you do, don&#8217;t neglect to use these tools to tell the story. When you start trying to do it all yourself, you lose people. Keep it simple and duplicatable.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Fifth Step</strong></span>: Follow up. Follow up. Follow up. Follow up. This is where many people lose their big opportunity for home business success &#8211; they do the presentations and prospecting, but skip the follow-ups. Don&#8217;t let this happen to you. It&#8217;s well known &#8211; it often takes 6-7 exposures to an opportunity or business concept before people start to think seriously about it. Follow up.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Sixth Step</strong></span>: Bring people in to your team, and begin building a relationship with them. Help them get started. Take them through your opportunity&#8217;s basic training and be there when they need help. Stay upbeat. Some will get moving, others will stall, some will quit, others will excel. Just be there for them and be encouraging.</p></blockquote>
<p>These steps will work with any network marketing business.</p>
<p>Do these things consistently and you will enjoy home business success, instead of just hearing others talk about it!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/watkins_home_business.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-384" title="Home Based Business Opportunity" alt="watkins home business" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/watkins_home_business.jpg" width="236" height="177" /></a>I had a nice chat the other night with Steve Bretzke, founder of the <a href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/summitgroup.htm">Watkins Summit Group</a>. One thing we talked about was the ease of entry into a Watkins home business, and how that can be a mixed blessing.</p>
<p>Actually, this is true with almost all home based network marketing businesses. One thing that makes network marketing so appealing is that almost anyone start a real business with just a small investment.</p>
<p>Consider this &#8211; most network marketing businesses can be initially started for less than $500. This will include product samples as well as business building and marketing tools. Many companies offer additional options for getting started that cost less, although these lower entry points are often &#8220;bare bones&#8221; and don&#8217;t include everything you need for building a <em>serious</em> business.</p>
<p>Either way, cost of entry for a network marketing business is very low compared to other traditional business models, such as franchising and local independent retail storefronts.</p>
<p>That said, though, here is the downside. For many people, easy in = easy out. Network marketing done properly is hard work. The beauty is that you can start building a lifetime residual income with a Watkins home business, and work it around a full time job and family responsibilities. Few other truly lucrative business opportunities can offer you that option.</p>
<p>Over on my network marketing training blog, I just posted some thoughts earlier this evening about <a href="http://eldonbeard.com/realistic-expectations-home-business-success/" target="_blank">setting realistic expectations for your home business</a>.</p>
<p>Unrealistic expectations catch a lot of people off guard.</p>
<p>Because a Watkins home business (or any other legitimate MLM business) can be very powerful and help you build a significant income rather quickly, the impression is left that it is all rather easy. Some people market their opportunity by deliberately portraying it as a vehicle for quick wealth and overnight financial relief.</p>
<p>The truth is, any honest and legitimate home based business opportunity is going to take work. You have to set realistic expectations. Network marketing can take you far down the path to financial freedom in just one year, IF you can commit the time and focus on the fundamentals that matter (prospecting, talking to people, getting your opportunity in front of as many as you can consistently).</p>
<p>As we begin 2013, I encourage you to take whatever home business you are involved with and treat it like a REAL business. Work it like you invested $100K to get it started. Take it seriously and commit to working it consistently for the long haul. THAT is how you earn wealth, freedom, and financial independence in network marketing.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet settled on the right home business opportunity for you, consider how a <a href="http://www.tsginfo.com/index.php?rc=ey2236" target="_blank">Watkins home business</a> might be the answer.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/online-network-marketing.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-369" title="Online MLM Success Can Be Yours" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/online-network-marketing.jpg" alt="online network marketing and your Watkins business" width="158" height="238" /></a>Because I&#8217;ve sponsored so many new Watkins associates online, sometime people ask me how I do it or if I can show them how to do it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m all for online network marketing and sponsoring, but for best success you really need to build your <a href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com" target="_blank">Watkins business</a> with a blend of online and offline methods.</p>
<p>This is especially true if you are a casual Internet user, and if most of your online experience is limited to doing emails and browsing.</p>
<p>There is definitely a learning curve if you want to be successful with online sponsoring, and you can do it, just be aware that there is some knowledge you&#8217;ll need and some skills you&#8217;ll want to develop.</p>
<p>Here is a key observation about <a href="http://eldonbeard.com/network-marketing-online-what-works/" target="_blank">online network marketing</a> and building your Watkins business online in general.</p>
<p>The Internet is a very powerful way to get leads and find prospects for your business. It shouldn&#8217;t be considered as your only business building method, though. While your &#8220;warm market&#8221; leads won&#8217;t last forever, you can always expand your local prospecting by asking for referrals, advertising in the right places, etc.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been fortunate to sponsor many prospects who came online looking specifically for the Watkins products and also to learn more about the home business opportunity. The same thing is true of people in your local area. Many have heard of Watkins, some will be very interested in purchasing products, and others will be naturally be attracted to the income opportunity because the company is a trusted brand and name.</p>
<p>When building your Watkins business through online network marketing methods, you must be visible and reach out to people who are seeking opportunity to make money from home. Some ways to do this include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">creating a blog</a> to tell your story and help people know and trust you better</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>participating in social networking and business communities like Facebook, LinkedIn, and <a href="https://plus.google.com" target="_blank">Google Plus</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>advertising in places where people are looking for home business opportunities (home business and work from home sites)</li>
</ul>
<p>What&#8217;s important to understand is that local prospecting can be more immediate and rewarding. You can begin building your Watkins business locally and earning an income, while at the same time setting up your online network marketing and prospecting presence. I believe it&#8217;s important to do both.</p>
<p>One reason that having an online presence is important &#8211; people research business opportunities differently these days. There are three distinct changes in the way opportunity seekers have approached finding the right home business that I&#8217;ve noticed over the last few years.</p>
<p>The old way was looking in newspaper classified ads and those little freebie papers that are circulated to sell and trade stuff &#8211; advertising in this way still can work to some degree, but it doesn&#8217;t reach the audience it used to.</p>
<p>Later, people begin coming online and &#8220;<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=googling" target="_blank">Googling</a>&#8221; for opportunities, and savvy online network marketers could do well if their websites, blogs, and articles ranked well in the search engines.</p>
<p>Today, people not only Google for information but they also rely on what their Facebook and other social media friends and connections are doing and thinking. If a friend suggests an opportunity and a person to contact, that carries more weight and trust factor than just finding someone&#8217;s blog in a search and going there. To be successful in today&#8217;s online environment, you need to have a presence in social media as well as everywhere else you can online.</p>
<p>Online network marketing and building a Watkins business that way takes a little time to get off the ground&#8230;.but you can do it and I can show you how&#8230;.but I strongly suggest that you work hard offline and build your online presence up gradually. Internet prospecting is powerful but should never be your only business building method.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/large-crowd.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-360" title="Sponsoring in Watkins" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/large-crowd.jpg" alt="potential watkins products associates" width="230" height="153" /></a>Many thanks to my Watkins upline Executive, Randy Robinson, for this article. I wanted to share it here, as it brings a very encouraging message that is timeless.</p>
<p>That said&#8230;.here you go. It would be nice to have 300 million people on my team using Watkins products though.   :)</p>
<p>There are over 300 MILLION people in the US alone. Do you need to sponsor all of them??? NO! Do you need to sponsor even 1 percent of them (3 million)??? NO! How about one one thousandth of one percent of them (3,000)??? NO!</p>
<p>All you need to do is sponsor FIVE of them! Five excited, serious people who are willing to work, is all you need to do to create a lifestyle that most people only dream about with no hope of attaining it.</p>
<p>Who are these five mythical people? Is one of them your next-door neighbor? Your cousin from Arkansas? Your boss? Your daughter? A couple that lives 2 blocks from you who you haven’t met yet? Your hairdresser? The guy that comes to deliver your cold pizza 20 minutes late?</p>
<p>Could be any of them &#8211; most likely it’s the cold-pizza delivery guy!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I can’t tell you who they are and you don’t know either &#8211; not yet. Your job as a Watkins Associate is to find those 5 people.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we can’t put a classified ad in the paper and say, &#8220;WANTED &#8211; Those five mythological MLM leaders,&#8221; and expect to find them. Hey, maybe that’s not a bad idea! &lt;grin&gt;</p>
<p>So we have to find them by finding all the people that AREN’T them until we run across the fabulous five, one at a time &#8211; generally by accident.</p>
<p>Here’s a quick idea of what they look like. They will be excited when they get in, knowing exactly what they want to get out of the business &#8211; a new home, out of their job, a boat, whatever it is, they’ll know what it is. They’ll see that the <a href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/summitgroup.htm" target="_blank">Summit Group System</a> makes sense and it’s what they need to do to make their dreams, so they’ll do the first steps and make their commitments and be committed to them. They’ll order their products right away and when their order comes in, they start trying all of them, and they’ll probably call you and rave about them.</p>
<p>They will make a list of hundreds of people, and after their first training meeting with you, their sponsor, they’ll start contacting all of those people. They will be talking to lots of people and remaining excited. Excited when they aren’t excited. On the days and weeks where things don’t go right, things are slow, they get dumped on by somebody. They will continue on, working on their goal.</p>
<p>Life will smack them too, just like it does all of us. But that won’t stop them. They don’t quit, they don’t stop, they don’t slow down. Even though they have all the fears and doubts that we all experience, deep down, they know what the final outcome will be to their work, and all they have to do is keep it up to reach their goal.</p>
<p>Following are a few real stories, although I&#8217;ve used made up names so as not to embarrass anyone. And these are only a few stories among many that I hear about each and every month.</p>
<p>Whenever you talk to Amber, you can&#8217;t help but get more excited yourself. She even motivates her upline! She&#8217;s excited about her business, she knows what she wants, she has her list of people, and she&#8217;s out doing what she needs to do, talking to lots of people, working her business. She and her husband, Bob, have had more than their share of life challenges during their life and their Watkins career, but she&#8217;s always there on the conference calls, sending emails, talking on the phone, and continually working her business. What does Amber need to do to be a success? Find 5 more Ambers!</p>
<p>What would most people do if they were working 75-115 hours each week and wanted to start a Watkins business. The AVERAGE person would say they don&#8217;t have time to start a business. They&#8217;d give excuses about why they weren&#8217;t working their business. But Chuck is not average. Coming off of one all-night shift of driving his truck one night, foregoing sleep, Chuck drove 3+ hours to LaCrosse to meet with his sponsors to learn more about the business then had to rush back to start a second shift.</p>
<p>Another time in the middle of a truck driving shift on a Thursday night, Chuck rushed home, jumped out of the truck still running, and ran in the house to be on the Thursday night Conference call. Average people would just skip it and say, &#8220;Oh man, I had to work!&#8221; He has his list of almost 400 people and is working it.</p>
<p>After a long dry spell of people saying no to the business, he didn&#8217;t give up, but continued working it in between his 75-115 hour a week work schedule, and is starting to see the results of his work. Who would like to have Chuck in their group?</p>
<p>Last night on the conference call many of you heard Debbie&#8217;s 8-year old daughter who sold over $80 worth of products at the playground! Debbie&#8217;s soooo excited, loves the products, talks to everyone she sees and has a goal of winning a trip to Disney World. We could learn a lot from her!</p>
<p>How about Steve Bretzke? How many would like to have Steve in your downline? He started out with a kit and a dream and nobody in his group, just like you and us. He was definitely excited, serious, and willing to work.</p>
<p><strong>It’s really easy for all of us to describe who ISN’T one of the 5:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;I can’t go to the Conference because it’s at the same time as my vacation.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I don’t have time, I’m working two jobs.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I have a new job, and it’s just taking up all of my time.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I don’t have the money to buy our products yet or do the business. &#8220;</li>
<li>&#8220;I’m going to school and working a job, trying to get ahead, don’t have time for this.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;There’s just too many things going on right now. I’ll start later.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>Yeah, we’ve all heard those things. You just want to scream! &#8220;<em><strong>Hey YOU! Don’t you understand what this business will do for you??? In just a few short years, you could be set for LIFE!!! Give up a TV show or two and build your future, for Pete’s sake</strong></em>!&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of you know our story, Jan and me. To make it short, soon after we got into Watkins (starting 9 days after we joined) and for a period of about 2 years:</p>
<ul>
<li>we were both injured in a car accident</li>
<li>Jan’s father developed a serious illness and Jan had to leave town to stay with him for months</li>
<li>I lost my business</li>
<li>we lost our house</li>
<li>we moved to the country, mostly to escape bill collectors and car re-possessors</li>
<li>our two fantastic dogs who were family members died prematurely, one not long after the other</li>
<li>my father died suddenly</li>
<li>Jan’s mother died after a grueling stay in the hospital</li>
<li>I ended up getting a horrible job and almost a nervous breakdown&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>We spent 2 years CRINGING every time the phone rang, probably a collection agency or bill collector or other bad news&#8230; but it could be a prospect, customer or an associate, so we had to answer it (we had no caller ID!). Though totally broke, we still bought our <a href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/ebeard" target="_blank">Watkins products</a> every month, went to the conference each year and worked our business. <strong>It would have been so EASY to quit.</strong> To just tell ourselves, let’s do this business later, I don’t feel like being excited. We proved, to my complete satisfaction, that it’s not talent or some secret advertising miracle that allows you to succeed. It’s not quitting and continuing on &#8211; no matter what’s going on in your life.</p>
<p>So, to summarize my ramblings, I’m trying to say that all you’ve got to do to succeed is to keep plugging away at it. Treat each new person as one of your 5 and like in the old TV show, &#8220;To Tell The Truth&#8221;, (&#8220;Will the real NUMBER FIVER please stand up?&#8221;), you’ll eventually see them stand up and things will get even more exciting!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/your-mlm-sponsor.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-354" title="Your Sponsor in Network Marketing" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/your-mlm-sponsor.jpg" alt="local watkins sponsor" width="230" height="152" /></a>I had a nice conversation last week with a man who was very interested in starting a Watkins business.</p>
<p>After discussing some of his questions, he asked me if there was anyone in his local area that he could sign up with.</p>
<p>I run into this question from time to time, and would like to share how I handle it when someone asks me this.</p>
<p>First, I think it&#8217;s important to understand why they are concerned about it. You can often find out more by simply asking your prospect, but some will be hesitant to tell you what they are really thinking.</p>
<p>In many cases, it comes down to this:</p>
<ul>
<li>an assurance that someone will be reachable when they need assistance</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>a desire to get direct hands on training, especially if their desired focus in Watkins is local retailing</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>a previous involvement in another network marketing business where local training was the norm</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>a bad experience in the past with a long distance sponsor who signed them up and then disappeared</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>a lack of rapport, which is especially common if all communication has been via email only</li>
</ul>
<p>When I&#8217;m discussing <a href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/blog/summitgroup" target="_blank">starting a Watkins business</a> with someone who seems hesitant to sign up with me because I&#8217;m not local, I first try to find out more about their concern. If they seem interested in building a strong business through sponsoring, I make it a point to stress that the <a href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/summitgroup.htm" target="_blank">Summit Group</a> team has the experience and proven success in Watkins to guide them from wherever they are.</p>
<p>One thing I always mention is the level of training we provide. Our <a title="How the Summit Group Powers Your Watkins Business" href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/blog/how-the-summit-group-powers-your-watkins-business/" target="_blank">online training</a> is the product of many years of proven success in the field, and helps anyone build a strong residual income and network marketing business using whatever methods make most sense for them.</p>
<p>In addition, Summit Group associates consistently take a high percentage of the top awards each year for sponsoring and growth in their Watkins business. The reason for this is our system for success is simple, proven, and practical for anyone to implement. Nothing complex, just the basics and fundamentals that are proven to work in this business.</p>
<p>Often, prospects will express concerns about having a local sponsor in order to test your reaction and discern just how confident you are in your business. The key is to ask questions, find out the root of the concern whenever possible, and respond in a professional manner.</p>
<p>I started my Watkins business with a sponsor who lived 300 miles away. I didn&#8217;t meet this person until my third year in the business, when I attended our annual conference. I feel very strongly that my success with my Watkins business has been directly related to the level of training and support I received from the beginning.</p>
<p>Had I chosen a local sponsor at that time, odds are that I would never have learned how to effectively build this business and grow it in the manner that I have. Often, the best fit for your sponsor might not be a local person. It just might be someone across the country who you can relate to and connect with in a special way. That was my experience.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-344" title="MLM Income" src="http://cdn.yourhomeincome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/network-marketing-business-income.jpg" alt="income from MLM network marketing business opportunity" width="230" height="156" />There are many great reasons to get started with your own network marketing business.</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;ve been considering an opportunity, but perhaps need just a little more boost, a few more reasons to get started.</p>
<p>Here are some incredible things that a legitimate <a title="Attracting Success in Network Marketing" href="http://www.yourhomeincome.com/blog/attracting-success-in-network-marketing/" target="_blank">network marketing business</a> can do for you.</p>
<p>1) When you think about the next few years of your life, what do you see? Are you wanting to be doing the same thing, making roughly the same money, and putting up with the same stuff ten years from now? Are you interested in finding a better plan?</p>
<p>2) To be successful with a network marketing business, you must help others build profitable businesses and achieve success. It&#8217;s such a contrast to corporate life, where you step over whoever you have to in order to advance. Achieving mutual success through teamwork is incredibly rewarding!</p>
<p>3) A big benefit of success with this business is the personal growth and achievement you experience. Getting outside that coveted comfort zone might be hard at first, but when you&#8217;ve done it, there is a feeling of freedom that feels SO good!</p>
<p>4) If you currently have employment that is secure, that&#8217;s great! What if something happens though, say the company is bought out and the new management team wants to bring in their own people? If you work on your self development and become a leader, you will always be able to make money and earn a good living.</p>
<p>5) If you have a family, you might want to spend more time with them. A <a href="http://eldonbeard.com/category/home-business-tips/" target="_blank">successful home business</a> can give you that option. In addition, getting them involved in your business can be a lot of fun, and opens up opportunities to grow even faster.</p>
<p>6) What other type of  business gives you a fighting chance at financial independence and time freedom for such a small investment up front?</p>
<p>7) One of the great joys of financial independence is having enough money to help other people without having to worry about it. Would that appeal to you?</p>
<p>8) Remember what it&#8217;s like on vacation, when you can relax and stay up as late as you want, and sleep as long as you want? Not having to rush? This business can give you all that and more!</p>
<p>9) Everyone wants a bright future, and yours is much more promising when you take command and plan your own path and destiny.</p>
<p>10) How would you like to travel to places you&#8217;ve always wanted to visit, as often as you want, and stay for as long as you like? Wouldn&#8217;t it be cool not having to hoard and save &#8220;vacation days&#8221;?</p>
<p>These are some of the benefits of starting a network marketing business. It isn&#8217;t all about money. It&#8217;s about lifestyle freedom and personal growth too.</p>
<p>More than any other type of business, this one rewards you for developing friendships and helping people grow and find success. There is nothing selfish about it, it&#8217;s all about what you can do to help others, that will help you achieve your own goals. Isn&#8217;t this what you want your life to be like?</p>
